Should I redo the AC power in my house?

I have 4 separate 20 amp lines going into my listening room. Everything is segregated and silent.

Was cheap as my best friend did the work for free and I fixed his wife's car.

As far as Millercarbon's comment about where to spend your money. If you have shite electrical service coming into your house then you will have shite sound with $5k spent on fuses, cables and pods.

Get the core right and the rest will fall into place.

If there is trouble starting at the power transformer itself, that is where you begin. In my case, the house that I bought was built in 1930. That is reason enough to dig into what should be done for at least recent local code. I called the city electric provider and started there. They replaced the old cloth 3 wire line from the transformer that ran through the trees and more, not to just my house, but the 3 other homes coming from the new transformer. Damned near everything was replaced due to the old way that was likely overlooked back in the day. Grounding was one of my concerns and so the main ground is connected to the well pipe which is extended 25 feet below the surface of the earth. It went on and on like that, but I wouldn’t have it any other way, since if things were substandard to begin with due to age or other considerations, how the hell could you expect the cleanest/best performance to begin with? I was able to get as much right as I could before the rest could be accomplished. FWIW, the city had to buy new transformers for our substation this year. Fortunately, they went above and beyond what was needed, unlike the last time, when one of them caught fire.

You didn’t happen to have a good system operating during the steps of the upgrade and able to hear what change did what? That would be real;y interesting to know. I had one direct line installed when I bought my house, and then another 20 years later for my amp… the later was a tremendous sound improvement for only $1,500.

I did have a decent system to evaluate the difference. At most it was the anticipation for a better sound, but the fact is there was little change. I still wonder if it was due to the fact that I was using a PS Audio Premiere AC regenerator at the time. FWIW, previous to the 'rewire', the PS Audio unit had shut down once and had additional weird issues even after the rewire. So, was something damaged before? I wouldn't doubt it. Arcing in the branches of large evergreen was the likely culprit, but just try to get a power company to admit to that.

Thanks @4krowme. While not systematic sampling, still interesting.
